Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects old Moodle 2.1 and 2.2 deployments. A logged-in user could bypass intended permissions in the question bank and save questions they should not be allowed to change. The main business risk is assessment integrity and unauthorized content changes, not broad system compromise based on the supplied sources. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.6 or 2.2.x before 2.2.3. Any internet-facing or internally accessible legacy Moodle instance with normal user accounts could be relevant. Treat this as a legacy-platform cleanup item unless affected Moodle versions are still in use. If present in an assessment environment, prioritize remediation because unauthorized question changes can undermine exams, training records, and trust in results. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Moodle 2.1.x deployments to 2.1.6 or later.; Upgrade affected Moodle 2.2.x deployments to 2.2.3 or later.; Prefer migration to a currently supported Moodle release..
